The Swiss Ambasador

OK, this shall have to be quick. Wood Update: still none. Hopefully though, by the end of the day we should have 300m of Atate, a kind of Bamboo thats used in local construction. How we get 300m of Bamboo up a near vertical cliff face in a wet jungle, real quick i am not sure. Its going to be really good to get have some materials but its als quite frustrating as we cant start until we get the Pairaiso tomorro. Mañana, mañana. So tomorro we take delivery of this paraiso stuff, its very durable, lasts up to 50 years and has a fine grain almost like box wood or something, really excited to be working with that. So tomorro should be when it all gets started, that is it would be were we not having lunch with the Swiss Ambassador and his family. Just another day in the life. Have been in 2 diferent newspapers this week, the Casa de Arbol is already big news, though at the moment it is a pretty modest structure of one beam! Things should start moving quickly once we get thwe materials we need, its been really tough this week, we know we have so much to do but have not been able to get stuck in. Time is so precious at the moment, we have so little of it. Going to look into changing flights and maybe get a little more time, we can but try.
keep promising pictures and yet again have let you down, pictures soon, pictures soon.
All things considered life is good, we are all having a good time of things but will sure feel a lot better once we are able to start working properly. To describe this week in a line; character building..........

  3. …I saw a tree so tall and straight
    It almost reached to the heavenly gate
    I was very close to that tall tree
    I became the tree, and the tree became me…
